Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Just to up date people that don't know my story 19 months ago I have Heart Bypass Surgery. I never had a lab test that show me to have a Cholesterol Problem. When I got out of the Hosp. I was put on Zocor 40 mgs after my surgery I was put out cold for 17 weeks. I lost a lot of muscle. On the dam drug I had sore joints and muscles and my first Chol. blood test came back for Cholesterol Total below the normal range 121 range 125 to 200 mg/dL. So after my complaining they lowered the dose to 20 mgs still I have sore joints and muscles. I am told this is because I was on a coma 17 weeks and need to rebuild my Muscles. So here I am 19 months later going to the gym when ever I can still having pain. Now my hips and legs hurt and my back. I do have a small disk problem in my lower back but I feel my pain is from this Zocor. I have seen a lot of bad things about this drug now I question weather or not this is needed for me and my Heart. I am tired of fighting with the Heart Dr.'s and my family Dr. about this dam drug. On one hand they tell me I need to lose weight and get lots of exercise then they give me this drug take keeps me in pain and from getting enough exercise. So I am going to stop taking this and see if the pain stops if it dose I am not taking it anymore it's not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
